Opening of the relics of Saint Daniel of Pereyaslavl - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 3
From your youth, O blessed one, you devoted yourself entirely to the Lord, / always obeying God and resisting the devil, you overcame sinful passions, / thereby becoming a temple1 of God and you built a beautiful monastery for the glory of the Most Holy Trinity, / and for Christ's flock gathered in them, O God-pleaser, you departed to the eternal abodes, O Father Daniel. / Entreat the tri-hypostatic God, one in essence, for the salvation of our souls.
1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19.
Kontakion — Tone 8
You appeared as an unfading Light, a bright luminary enlightening all with the purity of your life, O Father Daniel, / because you were a model and a rule for monastics, a father of orphans, and benefactor of widows. / Therefore, we your children cry out to you: / “Rejoice, our joy and crown; rejoice, for you have a special right to address God; / rejoice, great strengthener of our city.”
